How to Submit a Report

Concise guide to submitting anonymous or confidential reports through Disclosurely, including access codes, evidence uploads, privacy limits, and buyer review questions.

Submitting a report means using an organisation's Disclosurely reporting portal to record a concern, choose a reporting type, add evidence, and receive a way to follow up.

What Disclosurely Supports

• Anonymous and confidential report submission workflows where enabled by the organisation.
• Structured report forms for workplace concerns, compliance issues, and supporting details.
• Evidence uploads where file submission is enabled.
• Tracking or access codes so anonymous reporters can check status and reply to messages.
• Secure messaging for follow-up questions from authorised case handlers.
• Case records that support review, assignment, and investigation workflow.

What Disclosurely Does Not Claim

• Disclosurely does not decide whether a concern is legally protected whistleblowing.
• Disclosurely does not guarantee anonymity if a reporter includes identifying details.
• Disclosurely does not provide legal advice to reporters or employers through this page.
• Disclosurely does not replace employer duties to explain reporting channels, retaliation protections, or external reporting options.

Reporter Flow

1. Open the organisation's reporting portal.
2. Choose anonymous or confidential reporting if both options are available.
3. Describe the concern clearly, including dates, people, locations, and impact where relevant.
4. Upload supporting evidence if appropriate and safe to do so.
5. Submit the report and save any tracking or access code.
6. Return to the portal to check status or respond to follow-up messages.

Procurement Checklist

• Confirm how tracking or access codes are generated, displayed, and recovered.
• Check which evidence file types and size limits are supported.
• Review how submitted reports enter the case workflow.

FAQs

What should a reporter include?

A useful report usually includes what happened, when it happened, who was involved, who may have witnessed it, and any evidence that supports the concern.

Can a reporter add more information later?

Yes, if follow-up messaging or status tracking is enabled and the reporter keeps their access code.

Can a report be submitted anonymously?

Yes, where anonymous reporting is enabled, but anonymity depends partly on what the reporter chooses to disclose in the report or attachments.
